What and (who) do you feel best describes kindness or thoughtfulness toward ones fellow man (woman)? Something Jesus, Buddha or Allah would have been proud, please describe it for the rest of us. God Bless You and Yours along with our Southern People.

Greetings again, southron.
As for a single act of kindness, I will give you one from my own experience. Upon returning home to my basement apartment one night, I could hear the elderly lady next door struggling and crying out. Since I had no telephone, I ran out as fast as I could in barefeet (it was not winter), to a public telephone and dialed 911.
I gave the full address and told them a woman was being assaulted. Minutes later the police did show up, and they arrested the man who was trying to sexually assault an elderly lady. I then went to the police station and answered questions.
I am not sure if Jesus, Allah, or Buddha would have been proud, but this is the least I could do to help a fellow human being. I would do it again without thinking if I were to see or hear it again.
God bless the Northern people.

It is 3 am and I fully awake and hurting. I have some good fortune. I have my arms and legs, I can walk a bit. I look pretty normal, That said, I have obseved that people EXPECT single acts of kidness. My soul is almost giddy when I provide such an act. IT feels great... wonderful. Almost all the time, a few minutes after .my "performance", I start to reaaly hurt from some simple exertion. Never mind. But what is ths EXPECTATION?. I think about that allot as I change another tire on an old car, in the cold, driven by an old lady who could not possibly do so herself; and for whom the concept of a cell phone is overwhelming. Laurie Anderson says that progress is a terrible storm. I know......

Turning a blank expression into a smile. I want you to take a good look at your mood interaction through out the day and then go back and see if you were giving the gift of happiness. It doesn't have to be based on money or reward, just a natural kind hearted attitude which promotes a good feeling. I noticed by monitoring my moods I could change the way people treat me. Of course I still blow from time to time but it is a controlled release of steam in the proper setting.

give without thinking of the one to whom you give ..a smile is taken for charity as Allah says..see them with the universal view..we are all connected by humanity ..small thngs mean alot wen in the right situation..tap on the shoulder , share gum or simply smile from your heart...
just thnk that others even the most proud ones share a thought u had the other day...
By mighty Allah its we are all the children of his , the best of us is the one who benefits his children the most..
By Jesus peace be upon him, its be tolerant forgetting about ur ego and for Buddha, thnk it spiritually and act upon it..
ths very self satisfaction wen u see happiness through others eyes is the core ..of it all

I've always thought if you stop and think what would Jesus/ Buddha/ Allah/ Mother Teresa/ or whoever you look up to, do in these circumstances, you can never go wrong.
Sometimes, giving kindness and compassion can be hard to do - but it makes it all the more worthwhile when we make the effort.

I appreciate your kindness do you realize not one person volunteered to help me and me with a real good chance I will not leave the hospital? MY DAD, my grandmother and friends all say he has more heart then brains and is going to end up dead because of it. When I was little I saw him jump off a pier to save two children and he can barely swim; we were in a restaurant when a old woman told the waitress she could not afford anything but coffee, he told me to call her grandmother so I did then he apologized saying we could not help but notice how much she looked like his late mother(she is still alive) and insisted on buying her breakfast; he broke through a police line to be with a dying girl pinned in a burning car; he saw old woman calculating her grocery bill at the end of shopping trip putting back several items, he took fifty dollars over and dropped it picking it up returning it to her as she must have dropped it- a few minutes later he saw her hand the money to a manager when he asked him why was she returning the money to him the manager said she said she had found it-my dad told him what he had done and the manager went back told her it was store policy and it was hers and to get her groceries they were free that night (good deeds must spread); still another time he was in a drug store when this old lady had a cane for a 6 foot person and no tip he went to hardware pick-up a saw it off and bought her a tip for the cane and just Sunday were in line to pick-up a prescription when the lady in front of us tried to buy just 6 of her pills so she could eat, of course they said they were sorry when he got to the head of the line he paid for her pills; many, many times we have been in a restaurant were the younger patrons would be eating and one of them would be watching, he always tells the waitress to buy the odd person dinner and not to tell them it was from him; and the last one to come to mind is Christmas he always finds someone who needs it and tips three hundred dollars (that is to two or three people). By the way he never allows anyone to recognize him even though once he ran into traffic so heavy the rescue squad was waiting, stopped the bleeding of a guy who had just lost his foot (without gloves and risking AIDS) the city would not allow him to leave and awarded him a award for citizen of the year. But he never stays around or allows anyone to know it was him even though there have been attempts to identify him. The Kindest Act My Dad Gary.

"kindness or thoughtfulness toward ones fellow man (woman)? "
" Do not feel that you are different from the world and all the beings as they are actually the same God in different forms just manifested for you to know how beautiful God really is "

The fact a higher power can even RESTRAIN me from doing something horrible and just make me simply smile at em and/or ignore them is like the BEST kindness I can give anyone.

Kindness is making someone happy, even for a moment. Kindness is giving someone $5 when they asked to borrow $1. Kindness is forgiving someone for their mistakes, even if they hurt you more than once. Kindness is giving without worrying about where that leaves you.

Ridicule? The existence of Muhammad is definitely recorded, top all the way down to days of the years from time to time. it incredibly is the reason many people reject his prophecy. It has no longer something to do with Abraham and Ishmael.
